Quit SA - History

History

A society free from the harm caused by tobacco.

Quit SA was established in 1989 as the South Australian Smoking and Health Project. It is a joint initiative of the Heart Foundation (SA Division) and Cancer Council South Australia.

Quit SA is the main provider for state-wide programs for cessation promotion and support, and works with young people to prevent uptake. Quit SA works extensively with other funded projects to make them more effective and sustainable. We also play a support role in advocating for, and supporting the extension of a smoke-free culture and environment.
